Solution

The correct option is D below
Evaporation occurs below the boiling point of the liquid. The particles escape from the surface of the liquid to form gas. Evaporation differs from boiling in that it only takes place at the surface of the liquid and it is very slow. On the other hand, boiling takes place throughout the liquid and is very fast.
